IMPROVEMENT IN GRATE-HOLDERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 207,036, dated August 13, 1878; application filed October 2, 1876.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, ROBERT J. HowDoN, of Cincinnati, Hamilton county, State of Ohio, and J ONATHANE. WOOD, of Huntington, Cabell county, State of West Virginia, have invented an Improvement in Grate-Holders, of which the following is a specification:

The nature of our invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a grate-holder the fire-place, and C the cast-iron front. The latter is usually expensively enameled, and it is important to preserve this in its original purity of finish.

D represents our grate-holder. It is essentially provided with a projection, d, behind which the hook or lug a of the basket may engage an extension, 01', to pass through the side wall, and a lateral lip or lips, d to effect a lodginent behind the outer face of the side wall, whether it be brick or tile.

A non-conductin g material, E, (best shown in Figs. 2 and 3,) is interposed between the fireplace front and the grate-holder, so that the heat absorbed by the latter will not be transmitted to the fire-place front.

For each grate two of these holders are reqnireda right-hand and a left-hand-and when they are affixed in place, the basket is hung over them in the ordinary way.

We claim The grate holder D, constructed, as described, with projeetion 07, extension at, and lateral lips 61*, in combination with the jamb B, non-conductor E, and basket A, all substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.

In testimony of which invention we hereunto set our hands.
